New Jersey American Water Survey Finds Most Common Household Leaks During Fix a Leak Week<\/b><\/p>\n

Up to 77 percent of Americans have reported seeing signs of a water leak, according to recent New Jersey American Water survey on household leaks<\/i><\/p>\n

CAMDEN, N.J.–(BUSINESS WIRE<\/a>)–
\nMore than two in three Americans have experienced a leak at their home, according to a recent survey conducted by global research agency Opinium on behalf of New Jersey American Water in an effort to better understand Americans\u2019 awareness of household leaks.\n<\/p>\n

\nThe results coincide with the annual recognition of Fix a Leak Week (March 15-21, 2021)<\/a>, a national campaign led by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) each year that helps raise awareness about leaks and other water issues that contribute to water waste within homes.\n<\/p>\n

\nThis year\u2019s Fix a Leak Week comes as we approach the one-year mark of COVID-19, when many people began spending more time indoors and home water usage increased across the board. In fact, since the start of the public health emergency, about a quarter of Americans say they have been using more water, meaning it\u2019s more important than ever to be aware of common issues and know how to spot them.\n<\/p>\n

\n\u201cBy conducting our survey, we were able to take a comprehensive snapshot of where we stand when it comes to water leaks and water conservation during this unprecedented time,\u201d said Thomas Shroba, Vice President of Operations, New Jersey American Water. \u201cAs part of our mission in helping to better serve customers, we are using this year\u2019s Fix a Leak Week to help people understand where and how to spot common problematic leaks to help improve home safety and support water efficiency and conservation.\u201d\n<\/p>\n
